Haryana Chief Minister, Nayab Singh Saini on Friday underlined the deep cultural and spiritual bond shared between Punjab and Haryana, stating that while geographical boundaries may be different between the two states, their soul, traditions, and way of life remain intrinsically connected.
Addressing a large gathering at Pojewal in Punjab during the 24th Barsi Samagam of Satguru Brahmanand Ji Maharaj Bhuriwale, the Chief Minister said that the shared heritage of both states is shaped by the teachings of revered saints, whose influence transcends borders and generations. On the occasion, he also announced a financial assistance of Rs. 11 lakh to support the institution’s ongoing efforts in promoting girls’ education.
Emphasising the universal appeal of saints, Nayab Singh Saini remarked that spiritual leaders do not belong to any one region, they belong to humanity as a whole. Their lives embody the timeless ideal of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, reminding society of its collective responsibility towards harmony and service.
He said that Satguru Brahmanand Ji Maharaj Bhuriwale commands equal reverence in Haryana, where a large number of his followers continue to draw inspiration from his teachings.
Drawing a connection between spiritual philosophy and governance, the Chief Minister said that the Haryana Government is striving to walk the path shown by such great saints, focusing on the welfare of the poor, women, and the larger society. He also invoked the ideology of Deendayal Upadhyaya, whose concept of Antyodaya—ensuring the upliftment of the last person continues to guide policy-making.
He said that both the Centre and the State government are committed to translating these ideals into meaningful action on the ground.
Highlighting the transformative role of education, especially for girls, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that the legacy of Satguru Brahmanand Ji Maharaj Bhuriwale lives on through institutions in the region, including four colleges and three schools dedicated to girls’ education. In a similar spirit, the Haryana Government has worked to ensure that higher education is accessible within a 20-kilometre radius across the state, enabling lakhs of young women to pursue studies without any hindrance, said the Chief Minister.
The Chief Minister also acknowledged the saint’s lifelong efforts to promote healthy living and to combat social evils such as drug abuse. The awareness he created continues to inspire the youth to choose a disciplined and purposeful life.
In his message to young people, the Chief Minister urged them to embrace modernity without losing touch with their cultural roots. He said that the teachings of Satguru Brahmanand Ji Maharaj Bhuriwale serve as a moral anchor in challenging times.
He further said that although the saint may no longer be physically present, his spiritual legacy, teachings, and blessings will continue to illuminate the path for generations to come.
Rajya Sabha MP, S. Satnam Singh Sandhu, former MP, Avinash Rai Khanna, and several other distinguished dignitaries also remained present on the occasion.
